The solar self-consumption market is growing rapidly
Driven by soaring energy prices, the solar self-consumption market in France is experiencing spectacular development, with growth rates of over 50% per year (source: Enedis Open Data). Many residential customers, companies and local authorities are turning to a simple, fast and economical solution for producing their own electricity.
Today, there are nearly 240,000 self-consumption installations in France (source: Enedis Open Data, 4th quarter 2022). There are two types of self-consumption: individual and collective. In the first case, whether you are a residential customer, a company or a community, you produce your own electricity in order to consume it. In the second case, producers and consumers located in the same area join forces (for example, a shopping centre and the shops it houses, companies in the same industrial park, etc.) and production is shared according to collectively agreed rules.
For 72% of French people*, producing and consuming their own solar energy would be the best way to control their budget.
